Dark grown 6-week old seedlings of two cultivars of date palm (phoenix dactylifera L.), namely Khadhri and Sukkeri were transferred to defined nutrient solutions. Calcium, Na and K content of shoot and root were assayed at 72 hours. Two cultivars differed in mineralcontent as well as in the distribution of minerals in root and shoot.Khadhri cultivar tolerated sodium better than other cultivar.
